The film will be shown in four acts, with three intermissions:

Act 1: 1h 54m
Act 2: 1h 4m
Act 3: 1h 47m
Act 4: 47m

‘Gance's Napoleon looks startlingly futuristic and experimental, as if we are being shown something from the 21st century's bleeding edge.’ ★★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

‘Seen on the big screen in its new digitally cleaned up version with its Carl Davis score, Abel Gance's 1927 masterpiece Napoleon is a truly startling experience.’ ★★★★★ Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent
